At a time when I
was cold and alone
I thought I'd never find it.
I was blinded by the rays
of a sun burned black
by the cleansing flames
of irreverence.
I hated who I was and
who I was fated to be
chained to a rocket destined
for death in the ionosphere.
Then I met you, and everything changed.
My soul was set alight
by chaste touch and mischievous smile.
My heart doubles its pace
every time I see you.
I am at aloss for detracting word
when my eyes drink in your beauty.
Every time I think of you
an unconquerable smile defines
this ink black face.
Nothing will stop our love
unless you decree it.
One day I'll kiss you again.
